Yes I have. Typically the websites and news media ask questions I do not care about. So I ask it MY questions. Like what is their profession, how long in politics, stance on freedom of speech, environment, economy, taxes, defense. This yielded a much better result than scanning sites. Precise answers. I did NOT ask it to rate the races. For judges retention, normal information is limited, I asked why or why not from both democratic and republican perspective. Likewise special measures. Reduced my research from a day to just an hour or so.

So if I am following this correctly, NVIDIA is todays shovel sellsmen?

Others, not miners, also made a lot of money. Personally I recommend investing in AI but not LLMs. I expect John Deere to make a lot of money implementing more AI in farm equipment.

When in doubt, I hear Llyods of London will insure anything, for the right price.

I think, not that I know, that they are expecting YOU, not your robots to have the liability insurance. If they go crazy, I think it is you they sue. Not the robots.

I suppose logically, any tool that lacks freewill is just a tool. So in that instance I believe you are correct.

Of course the hard part here is the definition of free will.

Since we are on reminders: Car engine air filter Car cabin air filter Car oil Clean gutters ...

Not an ad, but my life has become way simpler since I started using a free app called Tick Tick. I run it on my phone and my PC. My Orchids have never been happier. Of course I have a few 'past due' items I need to finish, but at least they are not forgotten.

I agree, all those details are needed as well as volume of printing.

1) it is VERY common for people with a college degree to change careers in their 30s and 40s.

2) take a Career Aptitude (or assessment) Test. Make sure the next profession matches what brings you happiness.

Great idea. Let me know when you have an android implementation.

Because a FAQ is useful. I would add a FAQ item, what is a Cornell Note for those of us who have never heard of it, or worse yet, think they know but are wrong.

I think your quotes are accurate in the intent you just need to re-read them.

As a simple analogy: Do not focus on winning the lottery, when you cannot feed yourself today.

Save for the future but you must not starve today.

I am a big P/E (price vs earnings) fan.

Value companies typically around 10.

Growth companies usually exceed 20.

IMHO anything over 40 is too risky. Although this would prevent me from being an early investor in many successful companies. It also keeps me away from the larger number of failures.

<edit> For what it is worth, they have trailing P/E (history) vs foreword P/E which is expected. As of today NVIDIA Trailing P/E is 33.24 and forward is 24.75.

I like what you have. I would venture above L2, which is my level, you might have a split path. Split would involve issues of teaching, agentic, management, and architecture.

I see the value for this clearly in regards to discussion, job listings (Resumes), and for planning a knowledge path forward.
